Hello all of my friends here on Writers and Readers of Distinctive fiction! I've been away for quite some time and will be on and off for a bit as well. My excuse IS a good one and I do miss ALL of you! I wanted to let you know that I've been In and out of different hospitals fighting cancer. This is my 14th year. I have a cancer known as Ewing Sarcoma and have been communicating with three of my very long term friends to keep up my spaces. I just had one surgery and I am awaiting three more. It…

WRDF launched in February of 2008 and its membership has grown steadily. I hope that means we are doing something right for our members.
We have some fabulously talented writers among us. I would encourage you to take a little time to visit a couple new pages each week. The photos, videos, blurbs, excerpts, bios, blogs, graphics, and I could go on and on, are super fun and so interesting. No one has an excuse to be bored on this site with so much to read and see.
I hope you’ve kept up with WRDF’S newest features. All are great promotional opportunities for writers and great fun for our readers.
The Tipping Point Workshops (TTP WORKSHOP TAB),
The Contest announcement page (CONTEST TAB)
The Bookmark giveaway page (BOOKMARK TAB)
The Free reads page (FREE READS TAB).
Our book discussion club, LOST IN A GOOD BOOK, is going strong. We’ve had good participation and if you haven’t kept up with some of our adventurous discussion comments, you’ve missed the action.
We’ve also launched a new online newsletter, WRDF Online. Be sure to open and read your copy when it comes. You never know what you might be missing.
Lastly, you’ll notice a new WRDFCalendar Tab on your page. What a nice way to keep all our members notified of current and up-coming events. You’ll notice that Fridays are Guest blog days at Between the Lines. Why not take a moment, check the calendar, and reserve a couple of spots for yourself during 2009. You can request your dates at: promo@lyndacoker.com
Thank you for spending time with us. Stay safe and well,

Wow! There is so much going on. But wait, I'm not done yet. We have a brand new feature which will become a huge theater for our authors and a lot of fun for our readers. The new book club, LOST...In a Good Book!

*argh!* that'll teach me not to check things more frequently. Matey, I had no idea you were in hospital. Are you feeling a bit better? You're on my prayer list *hugs*. I work in a hospital as a night nurse, so I have a bit of an understanding of where you're coming from, if you ever want to rant a little .

Hi, Amy,
How are you doing? I just checked into this site today, and saw your comment. You're very welcome! I will be saying a prayer for you. My email is dresselmj@aol.com if you want to stay in touch.

just keep plugging along and you'll finish one! My advice? Start one book and keep going at it until you write those magic words "The End". Finish one and you'l find it a little easier next time around!
I don't know how long you've been here, but it's the first I've seen you, so WELCOME! Take care, and have a great day!
